i certainly hope the person(s) responsible find more ways to send more banners at the right times. i love all the discussion in the house and here on the board about it. i find it absolutely fascinating.

Gurliegirl - the banner from season 2 for Nicole was this: W & N IN HOT-TUB. I’M HURT- JEFF

Nicole thought her marriage was over after seeing the banner. BB2 still goes down for me as the best BB season ever.

That was BB2 when Nicole and Will were in the hot tub and there was a "foot" incident.

In the article, the CBS letter is quoted as saying, "However, we also need to protect the integrity of the competition, which does not allow any outside influence on the houseguests who are sequestered from the public broadcast and therefore unaware of some of the secret twists in the show." AHEM! They do plenty of influencing in the Diary Room! This has been proven over and over again, sometimes by them forgetting to turn the sound off on the live feeds when HGs go in there and sometimes by the comments that the HGs make before they are told to stop talking about DR discussions. So what CBS is really saying is that the only ones they'll allow to influence the game are themselves and production company employees. It wouldn't surprise me if the stuff about some big-wigs pooling funds to disrupt the game is true. There are a significant number of folks in the industry who despise reality TV and I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that they would see disrupting BB as (a) highly funny, and (b) payback against the genre in general. It would be interesting to see a case over this go to court. As it is, they'll just win by intimidating the little guys who own the plane business by making threats they're pretty certain they won't have to follow up on.

The letter seems SO obnoxious and like such lawyer-speak. I understand why the guy won't fly any more banners (cost of fighting it) but it seems like it'd be so easy to fight in court. I mean, seriously, the BB house is DIRECTLY IN THE FLIGHT PATH to Burbank airport. Claiming that this guy's planes are any more nuisances than the 50 planes a day we hear on the feeds is a total joke. I think where he really blew it was mentioning BB on the website. Without that, I would think he could've thrown the letter away without even responding and had a good case. He's being hired to fly message X over place Y. As long as he does it in a legal fashion (i.e., not in any no-fly areas, over Dodger Stadium, etc), he is under no obligation or contract with CBS not to bother them.

How can CBS be upset over this since they opted to use it on TV, thus including it in their story? I think the only reason they are upset is because their big twist, the AP, is now on the block as a result.

They had to show it-- none of the last few days would make any sense without it-- but I was shocked with how much they showed it.. over and over again.... It's like "Thanks for shaking up the game, it was great, don't do it again".

Don't know the site source, but was chatting on another (non-BB) site tonight with some BB fans, and one person mentioned that he heard/read that Nick was coached by Janelle (the way Jen was coached by Woogie) and that it was Janelle who arranged for the banner. Not stating as fact, just throwing out what I heard. Haven't had time to peruse too far in the discussion folders, so I could be way late

Nancypj - I read somewhere here that Janelle said (on House Calls maybe?) that she didn't send the banner and that she was irked that some people were saying she did.

Thanks Sanfran - good to know. I woulda been disappointed if it had been her that sent the banner. I'll be sure to set the record straight with the other chatters tomorrow.

Of course, it just occurred to me that she could have been lying! Whoever did send the banners could have to deal with CBS's wrath! I wonder how long the HGs stay under contract with BB. I know I've read that on Survivor, they can't write a book or stuff like that for 5 years after their season ends.

Janie posted on her site and on Survivor Sucks that she did not send the banner, she likes AP and would never be a party to out Eric.

These seem to be the relevant posts from Janelle: - Fan site - Sucks I believe Deena from Survivor 6 has said on Sucks that their gag order expired after three years.

I don't think Janelle sent the banners but she did say she would like to sent Nick a banner letting him know she was a fan. Some over zealous fan has taken her innocent statement and ran with it. JMO

I believe Deena from Survivor 6 has said on Sucks that their gag order expired after three years. I don't mean to hijack this thread, but what gag order are you talking about?

msbullwnkl - the ability to write or say anything about their experiences behind the scenes on reality shows.

Something about Kail lying and having money? The owner of iloverreality.com posted that they were talking about a banner a few minutes ago and it had to do with Kail.
